    Well, leaving aside whether a lot of people don't distrust and whether a lawyer would or should be among those people, lawyers typically don't cite things without checking them fir…

    I think the alternative assumption would require some more evidence. The notion they are correct is default (until they are overruled by SCOTUS).

    It would have taken about 1 minute to put each of them into a tool like Casetext, Lexis, WL, or Bloomberg Law to determine they didn't exist.

    This is a stupidly glib comment. The poster meant that the reality of life as a Jehova's Witness cannot be gleaned from looking at some document of the religion, and I think you kn…

    Oh interesting. I would be willing to give them a shot one again one day (there are so few purveyors of pre-installed Linux computers), though not for the ~$1k Thelio costs. Right …

    I agree re: junk. Their build quality feels poor. Sometimes it's hard to tell when an issue is just a vicissitude of using Linux or their fault, but I would overall not recommend.

    As someone who owned 2 System76 machines, I would not say that noise ranks very high among issues they should tackle.

    That people still wear watches baffles me.

    The stitching of the mice together is by far worse than anything else I've read in this thread. One of the worst things I've read in a while, in fact.

    Or good lawyering by MSFT's lawyers. Your comment implies that the Federal government legit thinks MSFT's monopolies are ok, and that they always get what they want in this area. O…

    Did she file a plethora frivolous lawsuits in the aftermath and encourage her supporters to storm Congress? Your position is ridiculous and morally inept.

    Fake news about Hillary Clinton is a good example, as is Breitbart's very existence, as are foreign reddit bots, as are a lot of political extremists parroting views in their own p…

    This isn't new, but most Republicans didn't care when the brunt of this was felt by Muslims and others. Only when a far-right politician who plays to white supremacist tropes wante…

    The bar exam is stupid and a joke anyways, and is not a test or predictor of "lawyer competence"

    The "criticized the president" scenario is already simply a violation of the first amendment and not done, and the gun thing is plausible with or without CBDC. I'm not stumping for…

    NYPost is in a liminal spot; for example, if it's saying something happened in NYC, that thing likely happened in NYC, in my experience. Its commentary on said event can likely be …

    I don't begrudge a place not dealing in cash, but the no paper menu thing is really annoying, and I find surprising unanimity among my friends about this. I am currently in NYC but…

    This is a stupid and bigoted comment that doesn't even make sense given that r/AcademicQuran is full of people citing secular academics.

    Not really sure how Mohammed can be said to have a "dubious" history. If you don't want to believe the traditional accounts, that's fair, but late antiquity was not a golden age of…

    I think this line of thinking is unrealistic and rather unempathetic. People on both sides of culture war issues really do care about them. I agree that there are a number of more …
